Taking us on slippery nights out fuelled by chemsex, on drunken lads’ holidays, and into the quiet violence of small domestic moments, this is a world where tracksuits hide queer desire, where shame masks vulnerability, where wallets hide wraps of crystal meth. An exploration of masculinity, addiction and trauma, this is a revelatory collection of poems; wise, tender, and vital.  From the eager trepidation of teenage sex, to the ecstasy of parties, to the stigma around HIV, 'Limbic' is at once a therapy and a celebration, showing how queer learning can be both soft-edged and brutal at once. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN 9781838390044.
